Business-purpose finance for ABN holders. New or used, from a dealer or a private seller.
We look across a panel of commercial lenders and bring back the real options, then explain the differences in plain terms.
Term and structure matched to how your business actually earns, rather than a template applied to everyone.
Delivery income, subcontractor agreements and seasonal work do not always look tidy on paper. We understand how these businesses run.
Speak with Kulwinder in English, Punjabi, Hindi or Urdu, and have the documents walked through before you sign anything.
You do not need to be in a particular pocket of Craigieburn. If you hold an ABN somewhere around here and you are looking at a car, ute, van or truck for the business, that is a phone call, not a trip into the city.
Plenty of our clients are further out again, across Melbourne and interstate. Most of the process happens by phone, email and message, so where you park the vehicle at night is rarely the issue.

A balloon payment is a lump sum still owing at the end of the loan term. It lowers your regular repayments during the term, and the trade-off is that you usually pay more total interest over the life of the loan, with that lump sum still to be dealt with at the end. You can pay it out, refinance it, or cover it by selling or trading the vehicle, though nobody can promise what the vehicle will be worth by then. For tax questions, your accountant is the right person to ask.
